Salvador Minuchin (1921? ): A Brief Biography*

The eldest of three children born to the children of Russian-Jewish immigrants, Salvador Minuchin was born and raised in a closely knit small Jewish community in rural Argentina. His father had been a prosperous businessman until the Great Depression forced his family into poverty. In high school, he decided he would help juvenile delinquents after hearing his psychology teacher discuss the philosopher Jean-Jacque Rousseau's ideas that delinquents are victims of society.

At age 18, Minuchin entered the university as a medical student. In 1944, as a student, he became active in the leftist political movement opposing the dictator Juan Peron, who had taken control of Argentina's universities. Minuchin was jailed for three months. Upon graduation in 1946, he began a residency in pediatrics and took a subspecialty in psychiatry. In 1948, as Minuchin was opening a pediatric practice, the state of Israel was created and immediately plunged into war.

Minuchin also worked at the Jewish Board of Guardians where he lived in its institutional housing with 20 disturbed children. His training there was psychoanalytic, which did not seem compatible with his work with the children.

Minuchin married Patricia Pittluck, a psychologist, and emigrated to Israel in 1951. There he co-directed five residential institutions for disturbed children.

Between 1954 and 1958, Minuchin trained at the William Alanson White Institute of Psychoanalysis in New York City. He went there because the Institute supported the ideas of Harry Stack Sullivan, who created interpersonal psychiatry and stressed the importance of interpersonal interaction. As he was training there, he began practicing
